Holocaust survivor Idessa Hangas, 101, and her son Marcelo Filc watch family photos on a smartphone during an interview with AFP in Buenos Aires on December 27, 2024. Hangas was born in Poznan, Poland, on November 16, 1923. When the war started, she stayed hidden with family; then she worked in an arms factory, posing as a Catholic Pole with forged ID till she was denounced by real ones. Between 1940 and 1941 she was deported to the Bergen-Belsen (Germany) concentration camp, where she worked as a nurse and suffered the cold weather. She was liberated in 1945 and taken to a refugee camp where she met the man who would be her husband before traveling to Argentina in 1949. She still feels the cold in her bones, so she wears warm clothes all the time. She had two children (one of whom died in 1996) and has five grandchildren and six great-grandchildren.
